Layered Questions

1. What is the only way that Champ knows her mother's true hair color? Why does Champ's mother dye her hair? What does the ceaseless hair dying suggest about Mexican-American women living in the United States and the strength of their ties to their heritage?

2. What was the name of the guy who Arlene first slept with? Why will she lie about his name and the situation? How does the lie further the theme that Mexican-American women are envious of their white counterparts?
